      Heart Attack Fatal to Forrest S. Woodside
      While attending the football game at Boulder, Colo., Saturday afternoon, Forrest S. Woodside of Denver was stricken with a heart attack and died very suddenly.
      He had suffered a heart ailment earlier this year and was advised by doctors to take a much needed rest in a warmer climate and change of altitude. He and Mrs. Woodside went to Scottsdale, Ariz., in early spring and there he was stricken with a more serious heart condition and spent many weeks in a hospital. He recovered sufficiently to return to his Denver home in July and was recovering slowly but satisfactorily according to his medical advisors.
      The Woodside family resided in the vicinity eat of Arapahoe 53 years ago, leaving here in 1910 to live in Colorado. Forrest was nearly 65 years of age at the time of his death and he was president of the Woodside Lumber Co., in Wheat Ridge, Colo.
      The death of his father, W.S. Woodside, 97, occurred a month ago on August 21st. His mother passed away in September of 1950.
      Survivors are his wife, Mae; a son, Forrest Jr., of Topeka, Kans.; two grandchildren; a daughter-in-law; two sisters, Eva Woodside of Denver and Mildred Mitchell of Lamar, Colo.
      Relatives from Arapahoe attending the funeral service, which was held Wednesday morning in Denver, were: O.E. Tull, Mrs. R.F. Emmett and Mr. and Mrs. Roland Emmett.
